Springer - Material Identification Using Mixed Numerical Methods

Explore the latest advancements in material science through this specialized collection of research. This volume contains the proceedings from the EUROMECH Colloquium held in Kerkrade, The Netherlands, focusing on the emerging domain of Material properties identification by Mixed Numerical Experimental Methods (MMM). MMM provides a modern and increasingly powerful way to determine unknown parameters within a numerical model. By using observations made on real physical test structures, researchers can bridge the gap between theoretical models and physical reality. This text covers the process of starting from measurements of output values, such as displacements, stresses, velocities, and vibrations, to achieve precise identification. This publication serves as a vital resource for researchers and engineers working in mechanics and civil engineering. It brings together expert insights from the EUROMECH 357 symposium to help professionals understand how to apply mixed numerical experimental methods to real-world physical testing and structural analysis.
